The 2025 International Rocket Engineering Competition (IREC) will be held in Midland, Texas, from June 9-14, 2025, organised by the Experimental Sounding Rocket Association (ESRA). This year’s competition will feature over 150 student rocketry teams from around the world. The event will include a conference day, launch days, and an awards ceremony. The UTM Rocketry team is one of the participants from Malaysia, the only one in 2025. I was the technical advisor to the UTM rocketry team. The student gained experience and survival skills during the study journey at UTM. This is a good program to expose student to the real problem in engineering design.
